ABSENTEE BALLOTS

Absentee ballots are available to eligible voters anytime during the year for any election, primary or referendum, and are available through the Town Clerk's Office.

The issuance of an absentee ballot is a two-step process. You may obtain an application at the Town Clerk’s Office or download and print an Absentee Ballot (en Español) application form.   

After the completed application is returned to us, we will send a ballot and instructions to you as soon as State Law allows, which is generally about a month prior to scheduled vote. We must receive the voted ballot back in our office by election day in order for the vote to count.
